Whenever I need a chuckle…
…there are a few things that do not fail to make me smile.
One is the news story linked below. I know it’s mean and all, but when I first read it back in 2005 I couldn’t stop laughing, the image in my head — it’s like a bad Simpsons scene come to life.
“Hey, let’s go sledding!”
“But Bo, it’s 4:00 a.m.! It’ll be too dark to see anything, and the hill says ‘No sledding’.”
“Oh, don’t be a wimp. What’s there to see on a hill anyway? We’ll get all the kids on big pieces of cardboard and it’ll be a blast.”
Read the result here, and take a moment to picture what it must have been like to watch from the top — “Wheeeeeeeeeeeee! AUGH! OW! OHHH! AIEEEEEEE!”

The other thing that never fails is to Google “worst album covers.” One page in particular has the best worst, and the best commentary. A sample:
That’s right, our favorite crackwhore is making another appearance. Sitting seductively on the crapper, lace panties around her ankles, about to beat someone with the shoe she has in her hand. Why can’t I meet a woman like Millie? I especially like the grimace on her face from the strain of trying to expel a bowling pin and three cue balls. The actual design isn’t that bad, really. The diamond pattern in the tile floor is mimicked in the title block around her name, which shows at least some thought going into the layout. If I had been the designer, I would have done two things differently- I would have splattered poo on the wall behind the toilet because poo is the funniest substance known to man, and I would have made the whole cover out of a huge scratch n’ sniff sticker.
(That snippet is actually from page two of the list.) Anyway, for no good reason I went back for a laugh today and decided to share. Have fun.
PS: You know you want more.
Oh, sheesh. I can’t stop myself.
